NOTES:

If you use a lot of cinnamon, the smell and taste will be too overpowering.

Instead of heating the milk with cinnamon, you can infuse the cinnamon in the milk after removing from heat. It will give a milder flavor.

Try using pure vanilla, instead of artificial vanilla essence.

I used organic, grass fed whole milk, but you can use any type of milk you prefer.

This milk tastes really delicious, but try not to skip the vanilla in the cinnamon milk.

Hi Dhivya, Pure vanilla is a liquid form of the vanilla bean, which is made by soaking the beans in alcohol & water. I got mine from Thekkady. I don't know where you get pure vanilla in Chennai. But you can easily order it online from amazon. Pure vanilla has both antioxidant & cancer fighting properties. It also has a soothing effect on our body and helps boost our metabolism, apart from tasting wonderful when added to dishes :)
